Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Fitzgerald

Australian academic, historian, author, and political commentator Ross Fitzgerald was born in Melbourne in 1944 and was awarded his doctorate in political theory from the University of New South Wales. His academic career has included various positions at Griffith University including Professor in History and Politics. During his time as an Australian Research Council Senior Research Fellow (1992-1996) he wrote political biographies and co-produced ABC television documentaries.

As well as writing regular columns and book reviews for publications such as The Australian and The Age, Fitzgerald has appeared on ABC Radio, SkyNews and the Alan Jones Show. In 2014, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to education in the field of politics and history as an academic, and to community and public health organisations.
